The Forum and Exhi­bi­tion is ful­ly sup­port­ed by HH Dr Tur­ki Al Saud, Vice Pres­i­dent for Research

SIDI will focus on indus­tri­al devel­op­ment and local con­tent strate­gies that will add real com­mer­cial
val­ue to the pri­vate sec­tor and that will diver­si­fy the eco­nom­ic out­look of the King­dom. SIDI looks at
how local­i­sa­tion strate­gies direct­ly impact tech­nol­o­gy trans­fer and the devel­op­ment of tal­ent and
leadership.
